what is cataract surgery?

How could we sum up cataract surgery in a nutshell? I would like to propose the following definition:
"An insatiable greed for money, and an arrogant delusion that the exercise of surgical skill justifies mass destruction of a critical part of the eye, thereby needlessly exposing the entire world population to surgical risks, and compromising the integrity of the whole visual organ".
But it also serves the purpose of:
"A smokescreen put up to conceal the need to restore optical clarity to the human lens, which provides more natural vision than an IOL".

call to cataract patients to join class action

​If you've got cataracts, how much longer are you going to let them force you to have surgery, or lose your sight? Or if you're one of those who had the surgery, and came out worse. How much longer are we going to let those arrogant, hypocritical tyrants, who think no-one will ever hold them accountable, get away with ransoming the world's eyesight for the sake of their "bread-and-butter"? Please, for pity's sake, for humanity's sake, pick up the phone, call the newspapers and give them the whole story. Then call a lawyer to start a class action to fast-track anticataract eye drops. Thankyou.

Ferrer, 55, was arrested on a California warrant after arriving Thursday in Houston on a flight from Amsterdam. Authorities also issued warrants for the arrest of the site’s controlling shareholders, Michael Lacey, 68, and James Larkin, 67.

“Making money off the backs of innocent human beings by allowing them to be exploited for modern-day slavery is not acceptable in Texas,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, said in a statement.

California Attorney General Kamala Harris said that Ferrer was arrested on felony charges of pimping a minor, pimping, and Conspiracy to commit pimping. He is being held in lieu of $500,000 bond and will face an extradition hearing before he can be returned to California.

Under California’s law, felony pimping is defined as making money off of prostitutes or soliciting customers for prostitution.

“Raking in millions of dollars from the trafficking and exploitation of vulnerable victims is outrageous, despicable and illegal,” said Harris, a Democrat who is running for the U.S. Senate in next month’s election. “Backpage and its executives purposefully and unlawfully designed Backpage to be the world’s top online brothel.”

An attorney representing Backpage, Liz McDougall, did not immediately respond to telephone and email messages left by The Associated Press.

Lacey and Larkin are former owners of the Village Voice and the Phoenix New Times. An attorney who previously represented the two men, Michael Manning, did not immediately respond to a telephone message from The AP.

Backpage advertises a wide range of services, but the California arrest warrant alleges that internal business records obtained through a search warrant show that 99 percent its revenue came from its adult services section between January 2013 and March 2015. California officials said the site collects fees from users who use coded language and nearly nude photos to offer sex for money.

Worldwide revenue from sex ads topped $3.1 million in just one week last year, according to a court affidavit. It says Ferrer expanded Backpage’s share of online sex marketing by creating affiliated sites including EvilEmpire dot com and BigCity dot com with related content.

Larkin and Lacey each received $10 million bonuses from the website in September 2014, according to the court filing. It says Backpage was created in 2004, but since 2014 has been owned by a Netherlands-based company that has Ferrer as its only named partner.

California authorities said the state’s three-year investigation found many of the ads include victims of sex trafficking including children under the age of 18.

One of the advertisers, identified only as 15-year-old “E.S.,” ”was forced into prostitution at the age of 13 by her pimp,” according to an affidavit filed with the complaint. She used other online advertising services until they were shut down, the court filing says, when she turned to Backpage.

“I mean really, coming from someone my age, there is too much access, like it’s too easy for people to get on it and post an ad,” she told California Special Agent Brian Fichtner, according to his affidavit.

California officials said their investigation was prompted in part by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which reported 2,900 instances to California authorities since 2012 when suspected child sex trafficking occurred using Backpage.

The criminal complaint includes allegations that five minors, three of them including “E.S.” under age 16, paid to post advertisements on Backpage.

The charges against Ferrer could bring him nearly 22 years in prison, while Larkin and Lacey face a maximum six years.

A U.S. Senate subcommittee that has investigated the company estimated its annual revenues at more than $150 million."
